2019 XLT Towing questions
I really appreciate all your help on this. I took my camper back out on the road this past week. Drove from Phx up to Flagstaff with no problems at all. After reading all the comments in this thread It really is pretty easy to tow with the gen4. I have a 5500 lb camper and there were no...- tpagolfnut

2019 XLT Towing questions
If you switch to drive, you can then hit the - which will disable gears starting at 10. I was told to do this to 8,9,10 in order to keep the rpms high, 2500 - 3000 and keep speed low around 60. This is supposed to keep the engine cooler.- tpagolfnut

2019 XLT Towing questions
Thanks for the insight. Do you remove the top 8,9,10 gears when pulling or just use it normal in tow/haul mode? I am going to be making another attempt to get to flagstaff next week and was going to try it with at least 9,10 gears removed.- tpagolfnut

I just think my expy runs hot during normal driving.. I was towing the trailer today on flat interstate and the temp got up to...- tpagolfnut

Tow/haul vs manual mode
I have just been using tow/haul drive mode but was wondering if when driving in the mountains I should also use manual transmission mode. What combination do you use? New to expeditions and not sure.- tpagolfnut

2019 XLT Towing questions
Yes, I took it to a CAT scale and weighed it with the trailer attached and was below the stated limits. 2680lb steer axle, 4060 drive axle, 5360 trailer axle. Just wondering if anyone had any experience in towing that could give me some pointers. I drove it in tow/haul mode the whole way...- tpagolfnut

2019 XLT Towing questions
I am a newbie to this forum and towing in general. I recently purchased a 2019 XLT with the heavy tow package. I also recently purchased a travel trailor that weighs 6300lbs loaded. Should there be any issues towing this trailor through the mountains? I was pulling today from Phoenix to...- tpagolfnut
